Well it's quiet time!!

It is 9:20AM, Did all the cooking yesterday, except for the turkey, will get that in the oven around 9:30, just now playing on the computer and talking to my sisters laughing and being very thankful for my family! Enjoying my self before I start with the cleaning of the house before my Mother and Father in law gets here.

Listening to Christmas music and having a nice quiet time before all breaks out! It snowed last night, not a lot just enough to have it white outside!
Happy Thanksgiving to my family and friends!

Will write later hopefully with some nice pictures too!

A little time on the lake

I was at a friend's home on Friday and they were taking her boat dock away for winter storage. I went out there to see how they were doing it. Low and behold when I looked down, the water was an incredible green!!! I ran to my truck, grabbed my camera and starting shooting pictures! With the help of Picasa on picking up details, they came out incredible. One of the shots looks as though it was taken 20k in the air, the one that has the lake and the boat/barg is incredible! I am having so much fun with photography, and I have so many pics I want to put on my blog, when the gates open and I get goin, WATCH OUT!!!!

Hope you enjoy these, I am going to put them on flickr as well!

Veterans's Day, or should it be Thanksgiving?

Well I was going to take a few days off from writing, there is a segment on TV that asks "Are you addicted to the internet"? Had to seriously ask that question of myself. The answer? Yes, I think I am. It is just so hard to have ANY questions or thoughts and not find out more information or answers on the internet. What a wonderful invention.

Why should it be Thanksgiving? Well, last night we went to Monday Night Football to meet with some friends and have dinner. Andy received a telephone call from Alex saying he has been in an car accident. Some rear ended him, thank God no one was seriously injured, however we are taking both boys to the doctors at 12PM to have them checked out....

You know, I was in thought this morning, while getting the house picked up, you ever wonder how God feels, have a child. You love them unconditionally, raise them in your shadow, show them good and try to keep them from evil. They start thinking for themselves, making their own decision and stumbling along the way. You, as a parent, try to keep them on the right path, to have them make the best decisions for themselves. Then one day, after years and years, you realize that they have their own free will and do as they please. You, know as being a parent, realize that these decisions either will help them or hurt them. All you can do is hold your breath and pray for the wisdom you have tried to put into them will guide them. When it doesn't, you hold your breath again and pray that the mistakes do not hurt them too bad! What a lot of STRESS!!!! Really makes me see what God is under and what he has to go through for us!

Well, hopefully all is great with everyone and another wild ride!

Until then...

Again I write

Just got up WAY TOOO EARLY, cold outside, 32, woke up to the fire coming on in the bedroom and the blower kickin in. How I love that fireplace, I keep talking about it but not posting any pics of it. What is wrong with me? OK off to look at pics I have done and will put them on before the weekend is done, I promise....today...well today is Friday, what does Friday mean to me? It means two things, one to tie up all that has happened all week long, to put everything into a "box" and not to bother with it until Monday. Andy taught me a long time ago, never to check the mail on Friday, because if there is something in the mail box that is not pleasant it could ruin your whole weekend, and by the time you check the mail, it is probably too late to do something about it. Great Advise, except for today. There are things I am expecting and need to check the Post Office, like a new Cooking Light Cookbook....yea, yet another one. I am addicted! Could be worse, like getting Paula Deen's cookbook, wait, I already have all of them including her sons. I am truly addicted to cookbooks.

I had to make a promise to Andy for each cookbook I buy I have to try at least one recipe, Ok I can do that, I JUST don't buy cookbooks for their pictures and stories....well sort of. If I ever get my cookbook finished I will be amazed. Then what will be left to feel guilt over in this life? Well, there is the pictures of Europe that I wanted to make a book out of (Pickaboo is wonderful). Now that is almost two years in the making. Here comes and goes another Christmas, there is always our anniversary, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Birthday, Halloween, heck even next Christmas, Come on Jeanine get this thing done! Was that me just thinking that or did I actually write that?

Well off to town, let's see what my post office has to offer me today.....

P.S. By the way, Andy sold his motorcyle!!!! See, that guy got one incredible deal! What about wave runners? Hum....
